Why not Andy? external DVD drives for laptops are powered via USB cable
the one I have has a power block to it - but it's a dvdrw type - dunno about the simple dvd readers - don't they have higher power needs though (laser, motor etc..)

Correct

There are some 2,5" USB powered DVD-RW drives available, but they use 2 USB ports simultaneously.

Fitting it in the cup holder location would be nice, hehe

After reading translation (thx to Nick), this ACM kit can be retrofited for all model years of E60s Is this a correct assumption? If so, my wallet is gonna be thinner soon.

This is cool but until I see something that clearly specifies this will be available in the US (as a retrofit), I'll remain skeptical. We never get any of these cool things over here...
